Here collected together for the first time are all the short stories,
ads, and illustrations for S. P. Somtow's Mallworld. Included in The
Ultimate Mallworld are all the original stories (and the one story left
out of the Starblaze trade edition), all the ads for the Mallworld
products (left out in the TOR mass market re-printing), and all the
original artwork by Karl Kofoed (the artwork was not included in the TOR edition). This edition will also contain two new Mallworld stories
written by Somtow along with their new interior illustrations by the
original artist Karl Kofoed. The Selespridar have locked us, the
planet Earth, part of our solar system, and our sun up in a force field
because the rest of the Galaxy plain and simple does not want to
associate with us. Do we care? Not really. We have Mallworld, the
shopping center almost the size of a planet. So come along and play
human pinball at the arcades, order your custom-designed baby at
Storkways, Inc., experience your ultimate death at the Way Out Suicide
Parlors – death by vampire is a special way to go and just one of the
three-hundred ways you can decide to end your life.
